What this book is about
In 1993, Greg Mortenson failed in his attempt to summit K2 and stumbled, dehydrated and exhausted, into the remote Pakistani village of Korphe. The villagers nursed him back to health, and Mortenson promised to return and build them a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of how he kept that promise — and how keeping it turned into a decade-long effort to build schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan, particularly for girls who had no access to education. A straightforward adventure-meets-humanitarian narrative about one man's response to a chance encounter.
